Teachers are amazing, you're amazing!

Oh you poor thing, the sound goes right through to your bones and the whole thing seems to happen in slow motion doesn’t it?

Thanks Maya, you've been among the people holding on to hope for change and promise for me when I couldn't hold on to it for myself. Much appreciated my dear, and big hugs to you in your grief x

Oh it was pretty good (although obviously not at all authentic)

Wshe I could offer helpful advice Nico, in its absence I’ll send lots of hugs and healing vibes to your sister. 

Well done you...is it thrilling?!

You’ll always be *my* filthy communist neoconservative facist darling

This all sounds delicious pink, I’ve been trying to make enough supper each evening to be able to take lunch into work the next day. Vegan chilli and thai red curry were the only ones I made surplus of so I've been lunching on those. Desperate to have a place of my own so I can be the boss of what I eat!

Here, you filthy communist neoconservative facist.

So, I’ve done a week in the new job which is a bit like a tiny, part-time prison for tiny, part-time prisoners. It’s so intense and I’ve been called all the very worst swears by the children and I’ve physically restrained several of them and it’s sad and heartbreaking but guys I love it. When they’re not way up…

I feel awful that my initial response to the title and image for this (very serious and great) article made me think it was about people who fart in corwded spaces then leave while the farticles linger.

I realise I’m late but still...for anyone wondering, here’s an update:

This is amazing Nico! Over the moon for you and hoping to join the “Whoop whoop space and freedom” party myself before too long...

I’ve also had a week of not being able to get much done. Here’s to more time to rustle up delicious food soon!

Oh Maya, grieve as you need to, honour him as you feel is right. As long as you’re at peace with your choices those who disagree with them have no power.

I feel ya, a year trying to talk French to people in the middle East was ridiculous. 

Maybe have a think about the implications of being satisfied (if you are) with being someone’s bit on the side. I was once accidentally someone’s dirty little secret (I didn’t know they were married until it was too late, I was deliberately misled) and it didn’t feel good. The deceit isn’t a promising sign for anyone,…

Hoping the medication works/keeps working and that you are able to get back to better than normal very soon

How interesting, the noises especially. As long as neither of you feel threatened or at risk then I guess it’s just a curious thing. Have you and the Bartender tried introducing yourselves?

I invented a dish this week...it was easy and delicious. Basically chicken, thyme and cider casserole which doesn't sound great but by golly I’ll be making it again!
